Columbia Basin Big Nine 4A
Richland Bombers
2011 Record: 10-2 (2nd place)
2012 Outlook: The Bombers will return seven players from their varsity squad last season. The offense will be led by seniors Corey Morris, who hit .480 last year with 17 RBI and five stolen bases, and Dylan Klute, who batted .375 in 2011. They will be asked to fill the void left by graduate Zach Rapacz, who hit .400 with five home runs and 19 RBIs, and Kenton Brunson, who hit .388 with three HRs and 18 RBIs. Pitching will be anchored by Junior Mason Hilty, who posted a 3-1 record last season as a sophomore with a 3.86 ERA and 19 strikeouts in 29 innings pitched. Expect the experience of last year's run at state to propel the Bombers to a league title this season.
Davis Pirates
2011 Record: 6-6 (3rd place)
2012 Outlook: Davis will return nine players from their varsity team last season, including four players who were sophomores in 2011. The Pirates will look to replace the speed and hitting of graduate Jackson Marquis, who hit .482 last year and lead the CBBN 4A with nine stolen bases. There should not be too much of a drop off, however, as Davis returns three players who hit better than .400 last season, in seniors Damon Lybeck (.467) and Jens Jensen (.433), and junior Carlos Vijjaro (.410). The pitching staff will be missing two major contributors from last season in Jason Klingle, who went 3-0 with a league-leading 1.17 ERA in 2011, and Avery Mottet, who went 2-1 with a 1.75 ERA. The staff this season will be anchored by junior Trenton Dupree, who pitched 25 innings last season for a 4-0 record and a 3.50 ERA. The experience gained from a young 2011 Pirate team will help Davis improve on last season's 6-6 record and make a push for the league title.
Walla Walla Blue Devils
2011 Record: 11-1 (1st place)
2012 Outlook: The Blue Devils are returning only six players from their 2011 league title winning squad, losing 11 varsity players to graduation. They lose last year's league leader in batting average, Kevin Toon (.596), RBIs in Matt Watson (28), and wins and strikeouts in Drew Christina (8-0, 67). Watson acted as a Mr. Everything for Walla Walla last season, hitting .386 and stealing five bases to go along with his 28 RBIs. On top of that, he was second on the team in wins, going 3-1 with a 2.68 ERA while striking out 35 batters in 34 innings. Christina, meanwhile, leaves a big hole in the Devils' rotation, as he was their certifiable ace in 2011. While going 8-0 and striking out 67 hitters, he posted a 1.50 ERA during 42 innings of work. The offense will look to senior Taylor Lemke, who hit .360 last season with two home runs. Meanwhile, the pitching rotation will hope someone can step into the ace role Christina vacated. Any time you lose more than 60 percent of your roster to graduation, you can expect a bit of a step back, but when they were as good as Walla Walla's 2011 senior class, it's almost a guarantee. It would be shocking if the Blue Devils were able to repeat last season's league title, but they won't slip too far.
Chiawana Riverhawks
2011 Record: 4-8 (5th place)
2012 Outlook: Chiawana was the youngest team in the league last season, returning 13 players from their varsity squad of 2011. They lose only three players to graduation, which will help the team maintain continuity. While the Riverhawks did not produce any players in the top tier of any statistical categories, the experience this young team gained in 2011 should help them come out ahead of the pack that finished in a three-way tie for fourth place last season at 4-8 and move closer towards the .500 mark. This team is still a few seasons away from making a legitimate run at the league title.
Wenatchee Panthers
2011 Record: 4-8 (4th place)
2012 Outlook: Wenatchee has struggled to break out of the middle of the pack in the CBBN 4A, regularly finishing with three to six wins over the last several years. Last season, the Panthers continued the trend, finishing at the head of a 4-8 logjam for fourth place. The Panthers were without a star presence last season and will likely find themselves in the same boat this year. Middle of the pack seems to be this team's ceiling and will more than likely be where they finish again in 2012.
Eisenhower Cadets
2011 Record: 3-9 (7th place)
2012 Outlook: The Cadets finished last in the CBBN 4A division last season, and graduated seven members of last year's varsity squad. Five players return this year, including two sophomores who got varsity experience last season as freshmen. While the team failed to win as many games as they would have liked, there is something to be said for experience, even terrible experience. Expect the young Eisenhower team to improve on their win total from last season, but not by enough to rise too far out of the cellar of the division.
Moses Lake Chiefs
2011 Record: 4-8 (6th place)
2012 Outlook: The Chiefs will be the team hit hardest by graduation, losing 14 players from last season's varsity squad. Moses Lake will look to senior Bryton Redal, the only senior on this year's team to be listed on the varsity roster last year, to lead the offense and improve on his .385 batting average and five stolen bases in 2011. He will try and replace the lost offense of Cameron Alverado, who hit .489 last season and stole seven bases, and Tony Hernandez, who hit .368. The pitching rotation will also need to retool and find a replacement for Mitch Yada, who finished last season with a 1.79 ERA and 49 strikeouts in 43 innings. The void left on the roster will be a setback to a team that struggled in 2011, and the Chiefs will slide into the cellar for 2012.
Columbia Basin Big Nine 3A
Kennewick Lions
2011 Record: 11-3 (2nd place)
2012 Outlook: The Lions boasted the youngest team in the CBBN 3A and returns 11 players from last year's squad. Kennewick brings back five hitters who batted over .400 to replace the outgoing offense of Drew Loftus, who hit .477 last season and stole six bases. Trek Stemp (.574), Sam Guin (.550), Jarod Gonzales (.487), and Troy Fulton (.429) will lead the senior class in the 2012 season along with sophomore JJ Hancock, who batted .478 in 2011. The pitching staff will look to replace Frank Murillo, who pitched to a 4-1 record last year with a 2.45 ERA with 17 strikeouts in 20 innings, by asking for increased production from senior Stetson Plew, who threw a 2.62 ERA in 16 innings last season. The Lions will ride the experience of last season's success to take the next step as the class of 2012 leads the team in its try for a league title.
Southridge Suns
2011 Record: 13-1 (1st place)
2012 Outlook: The Suns rode the Player of the Year, Ty Jackson, to a CBBN 3A league title last season. Jackson led the Suns with a .545 batting average with three home runs, 26 RBIs, and four stolen bases while also pitching 23 1/3 innings for Southridge, going 5-0 with a 3.00 ERA and 27 strikeouts. His presence will be missed, but Southridge does return nine players off last season's varsity roster. Senior Matt Mendenhall, who hit .519 with five home runs and 26 RBIs, will try and replace the production of Jackson, along with AJ Henderson, who hit .543 with four stolen bases, and Bryce Jackson, who hit .478 with 21 RBIs. The pitching staff will look to junior Connor O'Neil to lead them this season and build off his 19 2/3 innings last season where he struck out 19 batters and posted a 1.78 ERA. The Suns will miss the outstanding senior season of Jackson, and they will slip slightly back, falling just short of the league championship.
Hanford Falcons
2011 Record: 8-6 (4th place)
2012 Outlook: The Falcons graduate nine players from their 2011 varsity roster, bringing nine back for this season. Senior AJ Hoskins, who hit .547 with three home runs and 22 RBIs with six stolen bases, will step into the leadership role on the offense left by Blake Eastman, who hit .477 his senior year. In the pitching rotation, senior Colin Serkowski, who recorded three wins last season, will be asked to step in to replace the production of Dan Scheibe, who recorded a 3.44 ERA and 34 strikeouts in 36 2/3 innings pitched. The Falcons will use the experienced and productive returning varsity players to improve on their 2011 win total making a failed push for the league title.
Kamiakin Braves
2011 Record: 10-4 (3rd place)
2012 Outlook: The Braves will bring just five players back from last year's varsity squad, losing 10 players to graduation. Senior Drew Oord, coming off a 2011 season where he hit .489 with 26 RBIs, will be turned to as the lead to replace the production gone with Blake Raekes, who hit .531 with 25 RBIs and four stolen bases, Justin Berneski, .523 with 18 RBIs, Joey Jansen, .517 and nine stolen bases, and AJ Griffiths, who hit .404 in 2011. In the pitching rotation, the Braves will look for a replacement for Garrett Anderson and his 6-0, 1.86 ERA, and 39 strikeouts in 37 2/3 innings during the 2011 season. First in line will be junior Logan Jackson who threw 17 strikeouts in 16 innings with a 1.75 ERA last season. The missing production from the 2011 senior class will be a big hurdle for the Braves to overcome and the team will fall back a bit from their 10-win 2011 season.
West Valley Rams
2011 Record: 5-9 (6th place)
2012 Outlook: The Rams will lose 10 seniors from last season's team, returning just six players. West Valley will be without their leading offensive producer from last season, Steven Wager, who hit .400 with three home runs. Wager also contributed in the pitching department, going 3-2 last season with a 2.56 ERA and 33 strikeouts in 27 1/3 innings. The team will search for someone on this year's squad to fill the void left by Wager. The Rams will struggle to recoup the lost production and will stay in the lower tier of the standings in 2012.
Eastmont Wildcats
2011 Record: 7-7 (5th place)
2012 Outlook: Eastmont will only return four players from last year's varsity squad, losing 12 players to graduation. The Wildcats will struggle to replace the outgoing production at the plate from Tygar Garces, who hit .457 last season, and Jay Seabeck, who hit .406 with three home runs. Their pitching staff will also struggle without Ian Sagdal who went 4-1 last season for Eastmont, posting a 2.46 ERA. It remains to be seen who will step up into the lineup and offset the loss of those players, but Eastmont will have to find out quickly, or risk falling further off of their 2011 win total.
Pasco Bulldogs
2011 Record: 2-12 (7th place)
2012 Outlook: The Bulldogs had a rough 2011 season, finishing in second-to-last place in the division. The outlook does not appear any brighter this season, as Pasco will struggle to make up the gap between them and the rest of the CBBN 3A ahead of them. I would not expect too much noise from this squad this season, as they need another few seasons of solid rebuilding in order to become a contender again in the league.
Sunnyside Grizzlies
2011 Record: 0-14
2012 Outlook: The team that failed to win a game in 2011 will not have a terribly bright outlook in 2012. Sunnyside has proven themselves to be far behind the rest of the league in terms of their ability to win games, and will need to make some drastic improvements to make a move out of the cellar, but it won't happen this season and the Grizzlies will spend another season at the bottom of the standings.

- Board Games: Ludo, Snakes and Ladders, and Chess are our top picks for board games for brain building exercises for kids. It not exercises their brain but also teaches to build patience.

- Mazes: Mazes are a big hit when it comes to perfect brain building. It helps them develop their visual skills as they scan the page again and again thoroughly. Before entering school, you need to teach your kid to hold pencil and mazes work wonders in that case. It enables them to draw between lines which ultimately make them find it easy to do on the notebooks.
- Word Hunt: Word Hunts help your kids to virtually recognize things around them. Using alphabets inscribed on flashcards, magnets, cards, and blocks helps them differentiate easily. This could be taken to next level by adding pictures of animals, fruits, vegetables, and colors. This exercise boosts memory.
- Building Block: To develop the creative and imaginative skills, leave your kids with the set of the block in different colors and shapes. Let them paint their world. Whether or not their figure makes sense, let them practice. This will stimulate their mind and they will be able to put up new designs of their own.
- Puzzles: Puzzles is one such game that exercises hand-eye coordination. The kids develop logical reasoning of placing the puzzle at its right place. It is advised to start this exercise as early as possible. Not only its entertaining but it is extremely recommended for the kids of early growing stages.
Remember parents, it is important that you give time to your kids and help stand and make their paths in better ways. But this could be done only when you invest your time on time. Everything is temporary but your relationship with your kids is permanent.
Happy Parenting!!

When a program on your computer stops responding (including any of our game clients) Windows will try to find the problem and fix it automatically.
Waiting for the program to respond for a good length of time is recommended. However, you may end the program yourself by using Task Manager.
Using Task Manager to end a program yourself might be faster than waiting, but any unsaved changes will be lost. This could include any game settings changes made within a game client from the time the game was launched to the time it stopped working.
Data such as Character inventories, quests, level, etc. is saved through the game server application, not the client application, so changes such as completing a quest or leveling up are not lost if a game client stops working. However, in very rare circumstances a sudden disconnection from our servers could lead to a loss of data.
If you made changes such as configuring shortcut keys or quick slots, changing color depth or resolution and other game settings, these changes are saved by the client application and may be lost if not exited normally. Given all this, if you still want to use the Task Manager, please take the following steps:
Open Task Manager (hold CTRL + ALT then press DELETE and select "Open Task Manager").
Click the Applications tab, then select the program that is not responding, and click the End Task button.

I am very fortunate that I am able to do the bulk of my work from my home in the Midwest. The commute is great, the cost of living much lower than the east coast (where the Huffington Post is based), and I am afforded a level of flexibility in my work hours that would be hard in an office environment. Alas, there are also some down-sides to working from home, but that is a story for another day.
As my responsibilities have grown, it's become necessary to sometimes travel to the HuffPost mothership in NYC several times a year. There are some things that phone and email communication just cannot replace. I have made about 6 trips to NYC and the DC area this past year and have actually come to enjoy traveling. Unlike many, I have not had any bad experiences with the airlines, until last week that is. Granted, compared to many airline horror stories I have heard, this is pretty much nothing, but based on my stellar experience thus far, it is a big thing for me.
Let me set the stage a little first. I am what the airlines call, "a person of size." As a result, most airlines require me to purchase two coach seats, or a premium (aka First/Business Class) seat. Because I want to be comfortable, and I don't want to inconvenience others or make them uncomfortable, I follow the rules -- I usually buy first class (one first class seat is usually cheaper than two coach seats, and I get free checked bags).
This past week, I was plagued by the bane of air travelers -- the short layover/connection. I had a mere 30 minutes between flights, based on how our travel desk booked the reservation. Leaving my origin airport, I was told we were 19 minutes behind schedule before we even took off. I just knew I would miss my connection.
During the flight, I spoke with my neighbor across the aisle and the flight attendant about my situation. My neighbor was a frequent flyer with experience at the transfer airport, and gave me some tips. The attendant told me that as long as I was at the departure gate prior to scheduled departure, they had to let me board by FAA regulations. I also checked the status of our flight, and learned that we were now only 7 minutes behind schedule. Hmmm. I have a chance. The connecting airport, in Minneapolis - St. Paul also has customer service carts that circle the airport, and I was hoping I could get a ride, as my departure gate was obviously on the other side of the airport.
I won't detail the fun of getting across the airport (maybe another time), but I arrived at the gate as they were heading to close the door, 5 minutes ahead of departure time. The gate agent held the door for me, but informed me that my seat had been reassigned, and she bumped me to economy. The first class seat that "I" paid for, and they require me to buy had been given away.
Because I didn't want to spend time in a TSA holding room, I kept my mouth shut, was thankful that the seat they gave me (vacated by the man who took my seat) had an empty seat next to it, and that I was on my way home.
I get to my home airport, ready to fight with someone. I talk to the gate agent, who is nothing but pleasant and apologetic, but does not know how to honor my request for a refund of the difference between the seat I paid for and the one I was forced to take (a reasonable request in my mind). A supervisor was summoned.
I relate my story again to the supervisor, who makes a phone call and then tells me there is nothing she can do -- the person who was upgraded to my seat did not pay for the upgrade, so they could not refund my money. After some further protest on my part, she did offer me a voucher for my inconvenience -- $50. I told her it was an insult, took my paperwork and left.
During this exchange, she told me that it was airline policy to open first class seats to eligible upgrade recipients 15 minutes prior to departure if the original ticket holder had not yet arrived. She said that they had no idea if I was coming, so they had to do it.
Considering that both flights were on the same airline (a major air carrier based in Atlanta, GA), on the same reservation/ticket/confirmation code, and that I had checked in both online and at the origin airport for both flights, how was it that they had NO idea about my delayed flight. Let's make this one even better -- my checked bag made it onto the connecting flight with no problem.
Either they knew, and the supervisor was lying to me, or they really don't care about their customers. Why can't their technology point out situations like this so that they can find solutions. I can think of several options that a company concerned about their customers might do in a situation like this:
- Have the arriving gate agent rebook me on another flight before I try running across the airport.
- Have a customer service cart sitting at my arrival gate to take me to the other one.
- Give me options at the originating airport, since they knew we would be late arriving.
Those are the quick ideas, and I am sure there are many other possibilities. Use the technology you have available to deliver top notch service. The airlines complain that they are losing business and face much stronger competition from other carriers. Why not leverage the technology to set yourself apart. With all the horror stories I hear about flying, an airline going out of their way for their customers would clearly benefit from such an effort.
Leveraging technology to improve peoples lives is not limited to the airlines, or even to customer service in general. Our CTO, John Pavley wrote last year about a simple way that the Aurora theater shooting might have been avoided via technology that already exists in retail marketing.
What ideas do you have for using technology to improve our lives?

Shamili and I, Anushree, have written this report together, so you'll find inputs from both of us here.
Our reception at both REWA centers couldn't have been better. We were received at both places very promptly and our comforts were taken care of by the staff members. We visited the Leh centre of REWA on one Saturday, but it was a holiday for the children. Despite that all the staff members were there to greet us and brief us about what all the organisation does and the way it is done. We were given access to the books kept in the centre library.
Both David Sir and Naomi Ma'am made us feel right at home and the meals at the Leh centre were very well prepared and filling.
The staff quarters in Kargil were very clean and as we arrived while it was snowing, the rooms heaters were also prepared, so when we came, the room was very warm. The staff was very helpful throughout our stay in Kargil. We cooked food in the first week, but as the workload and cooking were not manageable for us the staff helped us in finding a nearby restaurant.
Honestly, our stay couldn't have been better at the Kargil centre. Everyone was very open and helpful.
At REWA Special school, we were of the opinion that the staff was very open and motivated. The Special teacher (Archo Ma'am) had a good rapport with the children. The children were being able to depend on her and trust her as was the Helper (Haseena) there. The children had a good environment to learn and grow in, however, it can be improved. The one thing we felt had great potential for improvement was limit setting in the classroom. There was a concern that the children had a slight problem following rules and some other limits like following certain established routines. Some other concerns were hitting each other, shouting at the teacher and sometimes hitting her too and not completing the class work or homework in certain times of the day. Hence, we worked a great deal at establishing limits in the classroom, by essentially doing three things
1. Restructuring the established routine by introducing the concept of "Angry time" where the children could hit, shout, kick and punch the physiotherapy ball by setting limits within the game too and reinforcing non-aggressive behavior throughout classroom.
2. By training the teacher in positive reinforcement strategies and the theory of Operant Conditioning, through a workshop for her to understand classroom management and create an optimal environment for learning.
3. BY practical demonstration of the use of "Angry time" and other positive reinforcement and other limit setting strategies during the period of our stay. Also, demonstrating easier and multi-modal ways of engaging the children in the learning process for better retention. This was not our area of expertise, as we do not specialize in special education and teaching strategies. However, we tried to practically demonstrate the use of phonemes and other games for mathematics.
Our recommendations for the betterment of the special school would be twofold:
1. Additional training for the teacher in terms of teaching strategies as many problems with retention were reported.
2. A mental health professional to be associated with the center who can sustain-ably create a mechanism of training for understanding children and the management of their behavior. The mental health professionals role in association with the parents would also be very important as during the parent teacher meet, some of the parents had expectations that their children will be "normal" with "growing age and maturity". Such misconceptions would be needed to be clarified so that the child is not put under pressure to get "normal" or perform "at par" with other children. Also, if the behavior management strategies are kept similar at home and school, it would be easier for the children to follow and learn. The practice of hitting and scolding the child were firmly discouraged by us as it corroborates with our personal stances and the protection of Child rights against any sort of abuse. An education about basic child rights and how easily they are abused in India should also be a discussion which can be encouraged within the staff. However, to our delight, we found no staff in the special school or the physiotherapists use scolding or hitting (negative punishment strategies ) the child to discipline them.
- In a few sentences and in detailed reports that follow, it can be seen that essentially our work was with the children in the special school, their parents the teacher there, the patients in the physiotherapy center, their parents, the physiotherapists, the children in Munshi Habibullah school and the teachers of the school.
1. With the children in the Special school, our work had impact on their behavior in classroom and basically in regulation of their emotions, talking about them, lessening of aggressive behavior towards each other and the teacher. Our work also had an impact on their behavior management at home as their parents were educated about the various possibilities of managing their behavior other than beating them up.
2. With the special teacher, our work had an impact on the perspective that she and the helper do not have to take the beating or the yelling the children may present with. The perspective that this would not help the child in the world outside the classroom and how limit setting is also important for the safety and protection of the child was discussed. The work had impact on how the teacher then began to manage the classroom.
3. With the patients in the Physiotherapy wing, our work had an impact in terms of identification of the comorbid developmental delays and psychological concerns they may be presenting with. The Early intervention therapy was done during our stay which impacted the training of parents to better deal with their child.
4. With the Physiotherapists, we did work for identification of developmental disorders and delays and taught them an assessment device called the Denver Scale. This was done as the Physiotherapists had very good rapport with the parents and also went on field visits. Hence, our work impacted their understanding of delays and other concerns so that they can identify the concerns the child is presenting and also intervene and train the parents of what can be done.
5. With the teachers in the school, our work had an impact on how they view children, the phenomenon of Bullying and classroom management strategies. Our work impacted creation of a mechanism in the school to deal with the problem of Bullying.
6. Our work also impacted the understanding and creation of intolerance for Bullying in children from classes 1 to 8. What exactly can be done to address Bulllying and what they could do if they face it or see it was discussed in a series of workshops with them.
- As of now, we do not have any connection in any Physiotherapy/ Occupational therapist training institutes from where you could access volunteers. We would definitely try to search for some and let you know. However, our biggest recommendation is to have one or more mental health professionals like Psychologists, Psychiatric social workers, Masters with Social work in Mental health and any other and for that you could get in touch with our college Tata Institute of Social Sciences, who may send your volunteers. If you are interested I could send you a contact of one of our Faculty members so that you can get in touch with them. Any more information, will let you know soon :)
Last but not the least, work with your organization and the lovely staff and children there was an experience we would cherish a lifetime. The people were so open and motivated that we did not have any loss of motivation! It was wonderful working with your organization and we had recommended your organization to many people and juniors for work in the last one month period and if they can, then more. We would definitely help in spreading the word, both for the need and the scope of work that can be done and the memories that can be treasured.
Thank you loads for giving us an opportunity to work you all :)

A music festival is a fine thing. I've been to 'em all, starting with smaller events like The Push in Albert Park featuring Spiderbait and Regurgitator (remember?!) before graduating to Rock Above the Falls circa 1997 where my long-suffering Dad sat through hours of Pennywise (torture) and Dave Graney and the Coral Snakes (less torturous) as my chaperone. What a bloke. This year I'm covering my favorite festival – The Queenscliff Music Festival – and am pleased to feature QMF Festival Director Michael Carrucan as this week's Business Ninja. Project managers – this one is for you!
1. How did the Queenscliff Music Festival develop into the popular event it is today?
Michael: When the QMF started it was a community-based initiative run by a small group of people. Organizationally it is still community-based, but it has grown. We now have 550 volunteers and 45-odd teams, peopled mostly from the Bellarine Peninsula or Geelong – people come from all over to help run the festival.
I've only been involved with the QMF for a few years – prior to QMF I worked on in a small festival in North America, in Colorado called the Telluride Blues Festival.
2. What skills did you take from your previous roles and apply to your role in orchestrating the QMF?
Sensible business practice is the core skill I've taken from one organisation to the next. Festival events are selling in a very competitive environment, trying to put on a unique and memorable experience for people. It's a tough market and there's a lot of things out there for punters to choose from. Putting yourself in the shoes of the punter is an important skill to have – looking at the event from their perspective. From booking the bands through to servicing the punter, customer service has to be the focus. We're lucky with the QMF as our location is a huge benefit – the festival can be enjoyed as a single day experience or a weekend away. Queenscliff is convenient to the city – you can catch a ferry from Sorrento and be home for dinner if you purchase a day ticket. There's also low-cost camping available, offering a competitively priced festival experience to a bigger audience. There's also accommodation at Beacon, BIG4 Bellarine (where Ruby Slipper is staying) and in towns nearby.
3. Who have been the most floor-filling, heart-thumpin' acts to have graced the QMF stage in its history?
Everyone has a favorite, don't they!? Highlights for me include having RockWiz live at QMF, the Triffids (reformed) and Kimbra just as her career began gaining huge momentum. Eskimo Joe, You Am I, Missy Higgins and Billy Thorpe also have to be on the hit list.
4. Does the festival have a theme each year? How do you go about selecting acts that will create an unmissable festival schedule?
We try to keep it current and contemporary each year. It's favorable is a band is coming to the fore or particularly if they're releasing a new single. A mix of old favorites and fresh talent is a happy balance – John Butler is coming to play QMF, and he hasn't been here for a decade – so he's a mix of both.
5. Do you think that entrepreneurs like yourself have one particular quality in common?
Whatever the cultural festival you're orchestrating – Sculpture by the Sea, Melbourne Festival, Indigenous Arts Festival – you must have an ability to work with a variety of interest groups to get the festival 'across the line'. At heart, being the Director of a cultural festival is project management – organising people in an efficient way.
Have you got your tickets to this year's Queenscliff Music Festival?

A white powder recently found at the U.S. embassy in Moscow was determined not to be dangerous or to pose an immediate threat.
Police in Moscow acknowledged the incident, saying embassy staff found the powder in an envelope marked "biological weapon," according to RIA Novosti.
Experts from the Russian Emergencies Ministry rushed to the embassy to test the material for poisons and radioactivity. Preliminary tests determined the powder to be harmless, but it was sent to the Russian Agency for Health and Consumer Rights for additional testing and investigation.
According to an unidentified source, the embassy staff discovered the envelope while going through the embassy's mail. The source called the incident a provocation or simply a bad joke, but said an investigation was underway, according to Interfax.
In recent weeks, Russian protestors have repeatedly gathered outside the embassy in support of a new law that will ban Americans from adopting Russian children. The protestors are often seen carrying the pictures of Russian children they say have been abused in the United States by their adoptive parents.
Russian President Vladimir Putin recently said that the adoption ban will not go into effect until 2014. It is widely seen a response to the passing of a U.S. law that bans Russian officials who are believed responsible for the death of lawyer Sergei Magnitsky from entering the United States.

80s Cartoons - The Care Bears
8 comments:
The Care Bears are the best :D Funshine was my favourite, I still have my original 80's figures of her and love-a-lot and my daughter plays with them now!ReplyDeleteReplies
I've more than likely got other toys but our attic is like the Land that Time Forgot! It will take months to sort it! lol xoDelete
I loved the care bears. I used to watch them all the time. I always wanted a Grammy bear. There was another cartoon similar to the Care Bears that I loved called the Snorks and then there was the Smurfs. The Snorks lived underwater. All the same concept, a village of do gooders and some evil villain is always trying to carry out a dastardly evil plan. 19 days until your birthday! My birthday is next month, but I gave them up long ago. Once you hit the big Two One, they don't matter as much as more.ReplyDeleteReplies
I remember the Snorks they didn't quite make the final cut as I'd a list a mile long to choose from and I also watched the Smurfs. I still enjoy birthdays and I'll be 29 this year, so far plans include a day at the zoo with my friend and her little one, a weekend away with shopping and eating and possibly a night out with the girlies from work. I'm past parties but I think birthdays are what you make them xoDelete
Love the Carebears!! Your mani is so cute and fluffy :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks =) I still love them, biggest child ever! xoDelete
Ahhh adorable! I'm a child of the 90s so I never saw the original programme but I still had a few when I was younger. Looking forward to seeing all the other cartoons!ReplyDeleteReplies
Hope you're enjoying the rest of my posts =)Delete

Wexford joins 'Think Before You Flush' campaign 12/02/17
Clean Coasts has partnered with Irish Water, for the second year running, to launch the 'Think Before You Flush' Community Initiative. This programme aims to tackle the problems sanitary products can cause the waste water network and marine environment if flushed down the toilet.
As part of the Initiative, educational workshops for schools and businesses as well as community information events will be held to raise awareness of sewage related littering and change poor flushing behaviour.
Throughout 2017, Clean Coasts and Irish Water will be establishing links with Wexford locals on the ground, whose community spirit and dedication to the local marine environment has seen Wexford selected as one of eight communities nationwide to participate in the initiative.
Sanitary items such as cotton bud sticks, face/baby wipes and those items we term as our 'Dirty Dozen' should not be flushed down the toilet, entering our waste water treatment network, which is unable to deal with this type of waste. In a study of over 1000 Irish people, a shocking 3 in 10 admitted to flushing such items down the toilet. Of these, 58% admitted to flushing baby wipes down the toilet, 40% facial wipes, 26% cotton bud sticks, 24% tampons and 21% cigarette butts. More than half of those who flush these items down the toilet did so simply due to a lack of knowledge. Sewage related litter is one of the largest categories of litter found on our beaches and is considered to be the most offensive.
90% of those surveyed agreed that seeing sewage related litter during a visit to the beach would disgust them while 84% of those surveyed agreed that if they knew that the items flushed down the toilet could end up being discharged into the ocean and could pollute our coastline and cause potential health risks they would not dispose of items in this way. This type of marine litter is totally preventable by simply changing our flushing behaviour.

In May 2016, the FCC approved the transfer of the license of 89.3 FM from University of Massachusetts Dartmouth to Rhode Island Public Radio, Incorporated. WUMD, the student station operated by the University, continues its full schedule of programming online at www.WUMD.rocks.
Currently 89.3FM's transmission originates from the small broadcast tower on the University's campus in North Dartmouth. Our plans are to move the transmission location, slightly to the southwest, and 850 feet above ground on the Citadel Communications tower in Tiverton, Rhode Island. This will result in improved in-car and in-home reception for the major population centers in Rhode Island and the adjacent communities of the South Coast of Massachusetts.
Naturally, such a move is a large project and will take several months to complete. We hope by spring 2018, 89.3 FM will provide significant reception improvement for those listeners who may have found 88.1 FM spotty at times.
Because we have a lease agreement with Wheeler School, owner of 88.1 FM and Coventry Public Schools, owner of 91.5 FM, we will continue to simulcast on those frequencies for the duration of our agreements. And of course, South County listeners will still hear RIPR on 102.7 FM.
We'll let you know when transmission of 89.3 FM has been transferred from North Dartmouth to the Tiverton tower. If you experience reception issues or have reception questions or comments in the meanwhile, please let us know.

A Reflection from Mónica Musri
As I was opening the door to my office, I noticed some scratches on the door frame and muttered that someone must have tried to force it. Ms. H, who had arrived earlier to our appointment softly pushed me aside and after attentively observing the frame told me that I shouldn't worry as the scratches were old, and turning to me with a big smile added that she would tell me a lot of secrets about how people break into houses.
This was some years ago, when Ms. H had shortly passed her twenties. She had been a victim of trafficking since her early teens and the only teaching she had after her mother died and until she was 'rescued', was of a criminal nature. In many ways she was so mature that sometimes I had the feeling that I was relating to someone double my age, when the case was exactly the reverse. In others, I felt I had with me the most fragile of human beings. She was both. And she is many more things. Most of all she's an amazing woman whose life's dream was to learn to read and write and have a loving family. She has endured violence, loss, a suicide attempt, prison more than once, contempt and humiliation in any amount and form. Still, after all these perils she decided she would live and endeavor to pursue her dream. She made it. She has a a job, a loving husband, with whom she is raising an intensely desired baby. I cannot but stand in admiration every time I see her or think about her. I feel for all she went through and I am deeply moved by all she did in life, by her determination and her struggle to find a place in a very hostile world. All she wanted was to lead a normal life. An inalienable right of any human being, and such a simple wish…
And that simple wish is what a migrant seeks. A simple wish that has a very high price, for some as high as their own life. I feel for and I picture in my mind the extreme danger they endure for the inalienable right of living a normal life, away from violence, war and injustice. We need never forget that these are the reasons that drive people to make such a traumatic decision, as abandoning their physical, emotional and psychological roots is. And I feel even worse knowing that after all the perils what expects them mostly is a long path of impenetrable uncertainty, many times lived in gruesome conditions. These days we are witnessing a display of hideous human behavior in Europe where walls, real and virtual, are being erected to stop migrants in their quest for safety. They are being perceived and treated as invaders, whereas invasion, bombing, occupation, dispossession have helplessly being imposed on them and are the very reasons that drove them out of their land.
Who would willingly and lightheartedly make the excruciating choice of abandoning their roots to arrive -if the hazardous journey allows it- in a hostile place where most often that not they are reviled? I doubt people indeed 'choose' to migrate. Leaving a country in times of peace hints to the lack of opportunity or plain impossibility to cover the minimum needs for survival. Leaving a country in times of war makes migration the only way to escape violence and death. There is hardly a choice in any of these situations.
In any case, those who migrate leave behind not only a geographical area, they part with family and community ties, with language and culturally shared values, with meaningful people, places and situations, with a whole world of emotions, culture and history. Often, this parting is for a very long time, if not forever. I can't help but wonder who really freely decides to sever those ties that constitute the bone of our existence, our identity? Looking at migration from this standpoint, it cannot but be traumatic and it is so in many moments.
It is traumatic to realize the need to leave, it is traumatic to plan and prepare the migration, it is profoundly traumatic and life-threatening to undergo the journey of migration, it is traumatic to arrive in an unknown place with no references, it is traumatic not to be acknowledged in one's own plight, it is traumatic to be considered an invader and a terrorist, it is traumatic to confront racism on a daily basis, it is traumatic to be perceived as a threat. And still, in the face of all these, that deeply rooted fortitude, rarely abandons the migrant who has become a survivor. To that colossal strength, to which I stand in awe, I bear witness in my work.
Only a few days ago, the UN Refugee Agency issued the report on the global trends of refugees stating that 2014 saw an unprecedented level of global mass displacement due to conflict or persecution, reaching a number very close to 60 million. Trying to only imagine this number leaves us on the verge of an impossible task. To help us put it into perspective they say that one in every 122 people in the world is either a refugee, internally displaced or seeking asylum. In the words of the High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres, "(for an) …unprecedented mass displacement, we need an unprecedented humanitarian response and a renewed global commitment to tolerance and protection for people fleeing conflict and persecution…".
The graphic below shows that the majority of refugees are being hosted by fairly poor countries, which notwithstanding their financial difficulties have opened -at least have not closed- the doors to refugees.
Sadly, we are presently witnessing the wealthy countries slamming their doors on refugees. It is my ardent wish that these countries will find a way to indeed stay human
I would like to close this reflection with the beauty of music, performed by musicians of Playing for Change.
For Reflection
- What makes people confused about migrants' plight?
- Are governments doing enough to stop wars and therefore people's displacement?
- What means do we have to oppose racism?

All of us have paid for bottled water at some point in our lives thinking it is the smart thing to do. You are not alone, every year we consume 70 billion gallons of bottled water.
You pay for a water bottle but how much more are you exactly paying when compared to tap water? Well, bottled water costs 2000 times more than tap water. We pay more for bottled water than for oil, gas or even coke. And shockingly enough, the source for bottled water is often the local tap and sometimes springs.
It often takes 5 to 11 times more water to produce a water bottle than the water the bottle holds.
Are you sure you want to buy that bottle of water?

Here in New York City, new developments dazzle the masses by offering amenities like electric car charging stations, IMAX theatres, private jets, and wine cellars. But across the pond, in fair London, buildings are just as keen to impress. One such example? The curious "snow cabin" at One Blackfriars — a Thames-side development in the English capital.
According to the Guardian, it is one of several unusual attractions hoping to lure buyers to the tower where residences range from £1.15 million ($1.4 million) to £23 million ($28.1 million). Other amenities include a "rainforest shower experience", a virtual golf course with a whisky bar, a wine tasting room, a hot stone massage parlor and a 24-hour concierge provided by Harrods.
Over in West London, the K West hotel offers guests a similar experience with its "Snow Paradise", a cave-like room kept at -15C (5F), with snow pumped into it. Natalia Rakowska, a marketing manager at K West told the Guardian, "It's like Narnia. You rub your snow into your skin and it feels amazing." [Guardian]

We bought our new old house in the Grove in November of 2011. We couldn't move into it until we retired (1-1/2 years later) from our jobs in the Seattle area, so our son moved in as caretaker that first year, and then our daughter became the caretaker the second year. It worked nicely for everyone, especially for us, because we had a very nice "vacation" home in Oregon to come to every few weeks. Those weekends, however, were very busy with gardening and upkeep projects.
What delighted us that first year was seeing what new thing popped up in the garden each time we returned. That first Spring was lovely! I was thrilled to discover Bluebells growing in a large patch near the laundry room. So pretty! And they've been the highlight of our spring garden each year since we discovered that some caring gardener/former owner had planted them for us to love.

Stories filled with laughter and tears were shared this past weekend as our video production team filmed testimonials of patients for Caring Voice Coalition.
Caring Voice Coalition helps provide resources and funding to under-insured patients with life-threatening chronic diseases and disorders. The filming took place at The Jefferson Hotel where patients were flown in and enjoyed a weekend escape in one of Richmond's premier hotel destinations.
13 patients shared their experiences of living with their diseases and expressed how Caring Voice Coalition has changed their lives for the better. It was truly an emotional and inspiring experience as we listened to patient after patient praising the support provided by the Caring Voice Coalition.
"When I was diagnosed, I was overwhelmed and lost until I found Caring Voice Coalition"
"The Caring Voice Coalition is like a team of guardian angels."
"My medical bills became astronomical! I was stressed to learn of my chronic disease and that stress was compounded when I learned that my treatment copays would be thousands of dollars. Caring Voice Coalition helped me cope financially and emotionally."
The recurring theme of the day was how truly authentic, sincere and caring the Caring Voice team is.
It's rewarding to work with nonprofits. We're thrilled to partner with Caring Voice Coalition and honored to have worked with some of their patients and staff in capturing video testimonials.

Yesterday, I heard my beautiful, sweet, daughter—whose mind is like a little Garden of Eden right now, fertile and fresh—clearly say "President Trump."
I won't be ambiguous here. It sliced my heart open. I do not like this man. I'm grieved that his inauguration day draws near. But of course, I'm no fan of ignorance. I'm not going to keep my daughters from knowing about him or about other ideas we disagree with. While I was immediately angry that someone has been talking to her about the president-elect, I once again relished in my role as her parent. Though she may encounter ideas and ideal that we don't believe, I am her mother. I get to have discussions with her for her whole life about love, justice, democracy, righteousness, etc. I have the awesome opportunity to make space for her to question, discover, explore, to disagree boldly, to chase down new ideas, to imagine.
I can't erase an idea or a name from her mind. It's tempting to want that superpower. But I don't have it and maybe I don't want it. I do have the power to teach her new names. Names of real heroes, real leaders. I was watching the farewell address when she said that. So I taught her the name of President Obama and let her see my tears that spilled out as he said goodbye. I listened and wondered how we would navigate the next four years. How we would continue to be a house of open discussion for all ideas.
I felt a calling—an element of parenthood that I had never contemplated—I want to make sure she knows the names of real heroes. People whose names are worth knowing. Jesus. Mother Mary. Saints. Poets. Women who were brave, smart, and rebellious. Nasty women. Gentle leaders. Artists, writers, soldiers. I want to decorate her mind and the halls of our house with people she can really look to for inspiration. Imperfect humans that chased truth, love, revolution. I will make it my project to identify these people one by one (because I could use some hero education myself) and find a way to bring their image and their story into our home.
But we will also know and talk about ideas and people we do not love, respect, or abide by. We won't just paint one side of the picture for her. That's one reason we're so divided right now, anyway. We stopped listening to all sides. We took the multi-faceted human experience, and more specifically the experience of being American, and reduced it to two-sided debate between those who are right and those who are wrong. And we started listening only to the people who agree with us, the news sources that square with our experience and education and prejudices. I'm no perfect parent or citizen or a superhuman intellect—I can't always rise above this human instinct to avoid confrontation and the feeling of being wrong—but I can try. The ability to listen to a variety of ideas and experiences, to question yourself, to change your mind, to articulate your feelings and ideas—is the way forward, the way of love and strength.
What do you file this under? Creativity? Community? Contentment. What is it to be content when there is so much division, injustice, hatred? What is it to be content and indignant at the same time? Is it possible? I don't want to teach our children that they need to fight every battle but I want them to have a keen sense that wars are raging all around. I want them equipped with inspiration and strength of mind to join in and to refrain. To listen, always listen, and to SPEAK.

Is not odd actually. if you use Pos Laju you can request them to deliver at a certain time. But if normal registered post....................hm...ReplyDelete
i think it is mean for a seller to speak that way, maybe the buyer is jz nt familiar with the system, and there is relli no one at home at that time. u could have jz tell her when will be the exact date of the parcel instead of getting mad, shud be prepared for all kind of situation. try to put yourselves on other ppl shoes, same to the buyer. neway services is the most important rules for a blogshop to survive.ReplyDelete

how can a postman doing that?
there are a lot of work to do..
I actually tried this when the buyer requested for a registered post. It's just day, NOT time. I stated in the that "Pls deliver on weekdays only. Thanks Mr. Postman!"
It's freaking good that yea, the buyer received on weekdays. It's a friday so I think mayb the postman thinks that if he goes to that place and the recipient is not around, he has to go back again if it's on Saturday. So he's trying not to delay my parcel and I really happy for that >.<

Susan started her career in real estate at Beyond Realty! Her dad was in the Air Force so she grew up all around the world in places like Spain and Germany. Susan graduated high school in Grand Forks and received her B.S. at Moorhead State University and her MBM at University of Mary, Fargo Center. She is the Marketing Director at Friendly Smiles Cosmetic Dentistry and co-owns The Private Collection, which is a furniture staging business in Fargo. Susan was married in 2016 to her husband Jason by Elvis in Las Vegas on Valentine's Day during Chinese New Year...that's a mouthful!
First Job: My first job was working at Perkins in Grand Forks. I was the dessert girl who brought desserts around to the customers at the end of their meals - no wonder I have a sweet tooth!
Favorite Colors: I love white, gold, black, and all colors that sparkle.
Hobbies: I love reading, traveling, and anything creative like art....and throwing parties, but not just normal parties - Murder Mystery Parties! I like to go all out on them with scouting out locations and props and story lines. They are so much fun!
Obsessions: My stuffed animal bunny. His name is Bunny. He goes with me everywhere, and he has the cutest designer outfits. People think I'm crazy for having him, but I say others are crazy for having pets they have to feed, bring to the vet, take for walks, clean up after them after they go to the bathroom.....and Bunny even speaks English! How many people can say they have a pet that they can talk to?!
Addictions: I am addicted to Escape Games! The real ones where you actually go into a room are the best but I also download the ones you can play on your phone too!
Favorite TV Show/Movie: I am addicted to the ID Channel - Homicide Hunter, Fear Thy Neighbor, Nightmare Next Door..the list goes on! Locked Up Abroad is another good one! Some older shows I have watched in the past include The Office and Third Rock from the Sun.
Pet Peeves: People who lie, people who are rude, people who are fake, people who talk the talk but don't walk the walk.
Favorite Quote: "Whether you think you can or think you can't....you're right." Henry Ford
Favorite Charity & Why: I love the Adopt a Grandparent program that Melissa Duerr-Leslie started at Bethany Homes! Her story behind it really touched my heart.
If we had to describe you as a hashtag, what would it be? #createinnovateinspire #whatbunnywantsbunnygets
What's the first real estate you purchased? Do you still own it? The first real estate I purchased was a home in Frontier North Dakota many years back before it became surrounded by new development. I do not own it anymore. What attracted me to Frontier was the size of the lots and how close it was to the south part of town.

(Reuters) - A U.S. trade group representing broadband providers said on Monday it filed a petition challenging the Federal Communications Commission's recently approved net neutrality order after the rules were published in the Federal Register.
USTelecom said in its filing to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia that its petition "supplements the protective petition for review" it had previously filed on March 23. USTelecom had previously filed a petition against the FCC in the same court, which has in the past twice rejected the net neutrality regulations. That was a placeholder till the rules were officially published in the Federal Register, which procedurally marks the time when legal challenges can be filed.

Atlanta school readies for Michelle Obama visit
February 9, 2011
by Kristina Torres
Atlanta Journal Constitution
With First lady Michelle Obama winging her way to Georgia, "Coach" Betty Jackson of Atlanta's Burgess-Peterson Academy prepped for her visit Wednesday the only way she knew how: By ordering the fruit and vegetable snacks that students will eat next week.
"I'm honored," Jackson said. "It's exciting she knows about me and Burgess-Peterson Academy. It says what I'm doing for the children is actually working."
The school's 240 elementary school students, meanwhile, started the day like they always do, with a "jammin' minute" of exercise and a healthy eating tip delivered by children chosen to be wellness ambassadors.
